How to Not Die From Swine Flu
How can one not die from the latest swine flu? Don’t catch it. This is not a frivolous statement. Read on…
Westerners have always snickered at Asians and Third Worlders as they wandered en masse through their daily lives wearing surgical masks. In retaliation, the Third Worlders laughed at Michael Jackson wearing his surgical mask.
Well who’s laughing now? Flying Mexican pigs are falling from the sky and spreading the latest version of avian-swine flu, or something like that. A sneeze or cough can project six feet or more, spreading the germs faster than a leaked work print of the latest X-Men movie. You could be infected by the infected by standing next to them in elevators, buses, subways, check-out lines, and waiting rooms, or by just walking near them on the sidewalk.
Surgical masks are a proven barrier between your lungs and airborne ickiness like this latest flu. Why do you think so many doctors and nurses wear them? And why in the world aren’t the rest of us doing it? They can point and laugh all they want, but you’ll have the last mask-covered smirk as flying Mexican pigs fall on everyone but you.
Make sure you go for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved “N95″ quality surgical masks. Buy a box and keep it on the shelf next to your duct tape and plastic sheeting. One mask may last a long time if treated well.

Great post! I read your other posts as well and I subscribed to your RSS Feed!
Yes, health care workers are in the perfect position to pick up and pass on microbes. Surgical masks put up an effective barrier both ways. Studies done in Toronto after the 2005 SARS epidemic showed that not a single health care worker who constantly wore a surgical mask contracted SARS despite close contact with infected persons.
Surgical masks protect the patient from breath born microbes FROM the surgeons. Moisture from the breath and tiny spittle drops etc. They do not protect the surgeon from the patient. Surgical masks do not filter out viruses in the air. But they do make you look cool!
I can see it now, builders requiring their Mexican crews to wear masks around the clients! We could also require catchers’ mitts so we can catch the pigs as they fall from the sky. lol
